"What right do you have to talk about me like that? Your words won’t affect me in the slightest. Brother Chu and I are truly in love. I won’t leave Brother Chu just because of what you say. I won’t!"

"Hehe~" Jian Dan couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Despite everything being crystal clear now, Jiang Xue’er still deludes herself. Quite a peculiar character she is!

"Brother Chu, tell them they’re wrong. Tell them we love each other. Quick, tell them!"

At this moment, even a glance at her made Chu Liyuan feel sick, so when he spoke, his gaze stayed fixed on Jian Dan, not even a flicker of glance spared for Jiang Xue’er. "Those who dare to mess with Jian Jian usually don’t end up well." The coldness in his tone was chilling, without a trace of warmth, enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

"No, that’s not true, Brother Chu. You like me, right? You’re going to marry me, right?" Jiang Xue’er tried to grab Chu Liyuan’s hand.

Chu Liyuan stepped away before Jiang Xue’er could touch him.

"Good thing she didn’t touch me, or I’d have to get rid of this outfit!" Jian Dan said jokingly while watching Chu Liyuan.

During the two months of pretending with Jiang Xue’er, Chu Liyuan had discarded countless outfits. He would never wear anything she had touched again.

Jin often complained to Jian Dan about this wastefulness.

Jiang Xue’er had an epiphany upon hearing Jian Dan’s words. She realized that Chu Liyuan had never worn the same outfit in front of her; sometimes he would even change several times a day. It wasn’t to impress her, but because he despised the clothes she had touched and threw them all away.

Jiang Xue’er felt as if her heart had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, the pain growing until it became numb.

"Since you despise me so much, why did you put on this show?" Jiang Xue’er asked, looking at Chu Liyuan.

"Of course, it was for Jian Jian."

"Uncle~ I’m sorry for the trouble, for making you endure all this." Jian Dan said coquettishly.

"Actually, a big part of the reason is that I knew you weren’t doing this just for yourself, but for me. You wanted to help me find out who was controlling her from behind, not wanting that person to trouble me.

To put your mind at ease, I decided to work with you to smoke out this person!"

"But I acted so well, when did you realize something was wrong?" Jiang Xue’er looked at Jian Dan in frustration.

"At first, I really didn’t see through it and genuinely saw you as my sister. Even when Xi Rui told me to be wary of you, I trusted you completely.

Until... the day there was trouble at Uncle’s company..."

"What did I do?"

"You didn’t do anything, it’s just...

When we were on the island, I remember asking you what you could do, but you never told me you were an expert in jewelry appraisal. You didn’t even tell me you could cook; I had to find out by myself.

So, when I learned that you could appraise jewelry, I was certain that you approached me with an ulterior motive, to achieve your goal."

"Hehe~ Seems you’re not so dumb, are you?"

"I didn’t see through your intentions not because I’m dumb, but because my true feelings had blinded me at that time."

"I have one last question."

Jiang Xue’er looked up at Jian Dan...
